Burton Escapade EST Snowboard Binding - Women's - 2012 BCS

The Burton Women's Escapade EST Binding delivers all-mountain control with a balanced flex for the woman rider with a bag full of tricks and a fetish for dominating the whole mountain—and maybe even the podium. The Escapade EST has been upgraded with the addition of the Kickback Hammock, a full-length rubber hammock-and-spring combo that suspends and reacts like no women's binding before it, which is probably why this binding is trusted by Hannah Teter.

• Zero Forward Lean highback sits at a true zero-degree angle for days in the park and groomers while still having the option to be adjusted forward to ride powder or pipe
• New Kickback Hammock mirrors the whole shape of the highback with a two-piece suspension system that is composed of full-length rubber hammock and an internal spring that not only cradles the heel of your boot but adds insane response and vibration dampening
• EST baseplate construction removes the rigid binding tray from under your foot, allowing your board to flex more naturally (compatible with Burton Channel boards only)
• ShredBED 3.0 scales down the volume but dampens with the same cushioning you have come to love from the dual-density EVA of EST footbeds
• Baseplate constructed from 30% short-glass and nylon composite for a responsive flex that loves the occasional fling with the terrain park
• Super Lightweight GettaGrip Capstrap with Triple Axis Ultra-Minimized spine, True Wrap toe window, and Grip Fit rubberized toe grip offers a supreme hold with half the weight
• React Strap ankle strap improves wrap and boot-to-binding connection through a minimized design and Triple Axis Spine Ultra-Responsive Enduro padding
• Smooth Glide ratchets deliver the absolute smoothest ratcheting and most secure hold, topped with the finished look of chrome-plated aluminum
• Made with re-ground materials where possible to reduce waste
• Only compatible with Burton's Channel system snowboards
• Complete the setup with the Burton Mint Boot and Feelgood Flying V Snowboard
